I just received a record electronic deposit into my Arvest acct today from my property manager in AK. Taking care of old folks in a Senior Mobile Home Park is good business. Not to mention, your Weather Voo Doo doctor failed to destroy my Tropical TX MHP this hurricane season. Things are good. Only thing that could stop me now is if they erect a fence on the TX/Mexico border and kill the illegal trade. I doubt you have much influence on such things. Looks like Wood is infringing on your trademark as well (Wood Buy).

Bruce, you ask a difficult question, and one my brothers are bothering me with all the time. Eventually, I just started saying "any time" because even at its peaks, you are not long disappointed.

However, you are more sophisticated, so I'll give you near and long term. I like to buy long term for stocks I plan to keep forever (barring unforeseen circumstances) and this is one. In MON's case, it's touched (very briefly!) the 40 week EMA 5 times in the last three years. That's been excellent support every time. The ten week EMA is also great support, and if you don't want to wait, you won't be disappointed with that entry either.

As for near term, we've a nice gap from yesterday to fill at $88, or, even better, a retrace to the old fib top (breakout line) at about $86.85.

I would watch it this morning, as we are obviously priced to perfection (hence the sell off in early trading), so we may get a nice pullback to the ten week line (at $78). If this market behaves as I expect over the next couple of day, I kind of doubt it, however, so I would be looking for a turn before we get that far. There's another nice gap at the $85-ish level, and that might make for a nice entry as well.
